When they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” I also feel that truth can be viewed the same way. We only see what we want to see and disregard the rest.
I also believe we can only see the truth as deep as we have explored our own truths, we simply can’t go where we haven’t been.
As I lived on the surface of my life for 46 years, I also was satisfied with being on th surface in others lives, I didn’t want to go deeper or explore the depths of relationships, I nervously just skated along on the top.
Assuming lots and giving yards and reams of allowances, knowing I guess that if I pushed the matter, they would fall short of what my impressions held and then I would be faced with something I was unwilling to do anything about.
Or intuitively I knew or feared that there was something to fear deeper in me, and there was.
The truth we see is only as deep as our own truths go, and we give leeway to others so not as to upset our own applecarts.
Reality’s truths are always right in the open, but we can see only the tip of the iceberg until we have dived deeply into our own journey and have explored all the crevices and valleys of pain and suffering, of what made us to be who we are today.
While most feel that we can just take a quick look and move one, what they are too afraid of knowing is that all they have built their lives upon isn’t what they thought it to be.
If you are a fearless truth seeker of yourself, you can then witness the truth as it appears in others, and not put a cloak or veil upon what lies behind their words and deeds, you can see clearly what it is they so desperately don’t want you to see.
Like having truth vision. I am still duped when I want someone to be something that it is impossible for them to be, when my dreams override their truths.
But in the end truth wins, not yours or mine, but reality's truth. It simply is what it is!
